symbolized his function and was exhibited at the outbreak of
war. In Polynesia Toki was the name of a chief
elevated by the Gods and his sign was the blade of a toki.

Presumably the number of glyphs on side b on the B tablet (506)
was intended to point at May 21 (365 + 141 = 506), 20 days after
Beltaine (May 1,
121). Could this be where the Easter Island month named Toki
was due to begin?
Or should we not rather guess the day for the beginning of the month
of Toki was the proper equinox date in time-space, viz
MARCH 20 (79)? Counting the eggs of birds (high up above the
road of the Spider) and
the eggs of fishes (far down below the way to the Sky-Father) the
proper measure surely ought to be 20 (the score for counting
something round).
... Now birds and fishes are born under the sign
of the Yin, but they belong to the Yang. This is why
birds and fishes both lay eggs. Fishes swim in the waters, birds fly
among the clouds. But in winter, the swallows and starlings go down
into the sea and change into mussels ...
... These 20 days reminded me of
20-dag Knut which in
Sweden comes 20 days after Christmas Eve, because the male name
Knut means Knot, which is to tie (humu). Here the
Christmas Tree should be 'danced out' ...
Dancing around a vertical tree occurs both at midsummer and at
midwinter.
